Chapter 222: Fallen into the Garbage Dump

“Right, aren’t you all curious why Instructor Zhai left in such a hurry?” Zheng Lingling asked with a face full of question marks. “All the other cla.s.ses are holding farewell gatherings for their respective instructors. Our cla.s.s is the only exception. It’s just one night—no, just one hour, but Instructor Zhai was unable to spare us the time. He had to leave immediately after the training session ended. Why is this happening? Why didn’t the other instructors do that?”

“The instructors from other cla.s.ses are not as good looking as ours too.” Tang Mengran replied as a matter of fact.

Zheng Lingling’s face turned black. “Can you please don’t be like Xu Tingting, always acting like you’re love-struck? Is there a connection between good-looking and being tied up? If Instructor Zhai was really that busy, why must he come and be our instructor? There’re a lot of people in the army. They could just send someone else here, couldn’t they? Was there a need to send Instructor Zhou here when he’s busy? He’s sent back eventually and Instructor Zhai came in his stead anyway.”

“Why do you care about this? Regardless, we’re the ones who benefited. If they sent another instructor who’s not so busy, they’re certainly not going to be as good-looking as the two instructors we had. Aiyah, we’re only high school students. These deep and complicated problems are not meant for us. Alright. While they’re having farewell parties, we’ll take the chance to recharge ourselves. I really wish tomorrow will come soon so that I can go home.” Tang Mengran kicked her legs. There’s nothing better than going home now.

Everyone was already tired out. The military training had finally ended. They felt more relaxed and were dozing off. When Tang Mengran, the little muddle-head, interrupted Zheng Lingling, everyone’s thoughts deviated toward that of Tang Mengran. They fell asleep soon after.

Fang Fang was the only one who was still thinking about what Zheng Lingling said the second before she fell asleep. Zheng Lingling’s words made sense. But why…

“Bye, see you on the weekend.”

“Please.”

After two weeks of military training, almost everyone became tanned and lost some weight.

According to her usual routine, Qiao Nan put the books that she wanted to bring home for the week in her schoolbag. When she reached the quad, she went to the residence of the Zhai family instead of heading home directly. She would place the items in the Zhai’s residence and then go there again to revise the next day, lest Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin disturbed her.

However, this evening seemed to be particularly quiet. It was like the calm before a storm, sinister and mysterious.

Just as she reached the quad, Qiao Nan felt strange, as if someone was hiding at a dark place, watching her.

Qiao Nan halted her steps and turned to look around. There was no one else on the empty path. Was she wrong and being paranoid?

“Zhu Baoguo, is that you? Hurry and come out. If I catch you, don’t blame me for adding more to your homework!” Qiao Nan raised her voice. Initially, Zhu Baoguo was supposed to go home together with her. However, he was not in a good mood. He looked quite unhappy and left first.

Qiao Nan was not a ‘real’ child. Hence, she certainly would not take such matters to heart.

However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that someone seemed to be tailing her. The first person Qiao Nan could think of was Zhu Baoguo.

Every time Qiao Nan threatened Zhu Baoguo with more homework, it always worked. This time, however, Qiao Nan did not sense any slightest movement from her surrounding after saying that. “Am I really being paranoid?” Qiao Nan scratched her head. Could it be that she had been tortured by the few dormitory mates till she had a mental breakdown?

Tang Mengran imagined things every day, and Fang Fang was like Sherlock Holmes, watching her and Brother Zhai’s every move. It nearly caused her to believe that Brother Zhai had a thing for her.

Great, she was almost suffering from paranoia now. She actually felt that someone was tailing her.

She had neither money nor beauty. Anyone following her would be wasting their time.
